Since you can not renew your vote have to assume the vote goes to provide a feature. It is difficult to dstinguish. However it is a strongly requested feature that we can read from it.
The best way imho is to let the users vote. How about follwing flow: 1) check if we can include the extention by license or find an agreement with the maintainers. 2) Put a call to Vote if the package should be included or not on the Forums, as sticky. 3) advertise the vote and have a discussion with the community. (Announcement, Youtube, Googleplus, facebook, user mailing list 4) After a month we gather the results and follow the desicion. To be clear, I am not favoured for or against inclusion of an extention. But for me it is crucial that people can see a concept behind our decisions. We said we would like to give our users a voice. Wouldn't it be appropriate to give them exactly this voice? This is a clear concept to me. [...] > So what is basic and what is not?
